The 12 Core 6v6 maps (COD Blog, Aug 21, 2026)
Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer: Movement, Gunplay, Modes, & Maps, dated August 21, 2026 (scraped Aug 30, 2026): launch Core 6v6 is 12 maps. Blurbs below are that post’s wording, shortened. A thirteenth Core 6v6 on an unofficial list = missing-evidence.
| Map | In Open Beta? | Where the blog puts it |
|---|---|---|
| Cachette | Yes | French rail outskirts — wine warehouse + mechanic’s garage as a covert armory |
| Coal | No | Soviet coal plant; fallen smokestack, ore chutes, slurry river |
| Lithium | Yes | Mexican lithium refinery under the Sierra |
| Lotus | Yes | Korean fishing village after an amphibious assault |
| Mumbai | No | Victorian market + rail through dense housing |
| Munition | No | North Korean munitions depot, skybridge, hangars |
| Nautical | No | South Korean ferry leaving a conflict zone at dawn |
| Reactor U92 | No | Korean reactor — arcing command room, boiling containment pool |
| Rooftops | Yes | NYC Hotel Times West — greenhouse, HVAC, laundry, pigeon coop |
| Sentry | No | North Korean base in whiteout — garage, generator, barracks |
| Silkworm | Yes | South Korean shopping district — convenience store, gaming den, subway |
| Transit 213 | Yes | Western India bus lot — derelict buses, repair shop, gas station |
The same post also names Warzone Zodiac (Beenox Resurgence) and DMZ map Hajin arriving in Season 1. Those are not Core 6v6 launch maps. We do not fold them into this twelve.
Six you already played vs six that wait for October 23
The Aug 21 blog marks six maps Available during the Beta: Cachette, Lithium, Lotus, Rooftops, Silkworm, Transit 213. The other six — Coal, Mumbai, Munition, Nautical, Reactor U92, Sentry — are launch-day only on that post. Open Beta weekend 2 ran Aug 28 10:00 AM PT – Sep 1 10:00 AM PT (official beta hub). As of Aug 30 that window is still the last printed Open Beta. A second official Core-map add after Aug 21 = missing-evidence.
Launch is Friday, October 23, 2026. Sibling: MW4 release date. Loadouts from the same beta: MW4 beta loadouts.
